[Verse]
People run away when the mirror's too clear
They shut the door tight when the truth gets near
A child cries loud
But they don’t hear
It’s the echo of love they’ve learned to fear
[Prechorus]
It’s a game they play
Rules they refuse
The ones who lose
They didn’t choose
[Chorus]
Broken promises
Shattered glass
Kids left behind
Futures cracked
They don’t deserve the weight they carry
Their hearts are light
Their pain too heavy
Broken promises
Who’s to blame
They don’t even try
It’s a crying shame
[Verse 2]
A little hand reaches
But there’s no hand back
In the void of neglect
Love turns black
We stand and watch
Hearts on attack
No rewind button
No turning track
[Bridge]
Who writes the script when the parents bail
Who builds a boat when the ship sets sail
The tears fall hard
But the walls prevail
Love left the room
It left a trail
[Chorus]
Broken promises
Shattered glass
Kids left behind
Futures cracked
They don’t deserve the weight they carry
Their hearts are light
Their pain too heavy
Broken promises
Who’s to blame
They don’t even try
It’s a crying shame
